₹20.40 cr IPO proceeds still unutilized, with zero spent on the planned machinery capex.

What's new

  • FY26 revenue fell 11% to ₹70.36 cr; net profit contracted 24% to ₹4.50 cr.
  • ₹20.40 cr of the ₹25.59 cr IPO proceeds remain unspent as of March 31, 2026.
  • Zero rupees have been allocated or spent on the ₹13.03 cr machinery and equipment capex plan.

Why this matters

For a company that just raised public money to fund growth, spending less than a fifth of it in the first year is a red flag. The financial results show the core business is shrinking, while the IPO capital meant to transform it remains parked. Management must now explain the delay to the BSE SME platform.

What we're watching

  • Any management explanation for the complete freeze on machinery capex.
  • Whether the company revised its growth timeline or project scope.
  • The pace of IPO fund deployment in the coming quarters.

The full read

Accord Transformer spent its first full year as a listed company shrinking. Revenue dropped 11% to ₹70.36 crore. Net profit fell 24% to ₹4.50 crore. For a nano-cap that just raised ₹25.59 crore on the BSE SME platform to fund growth, the results are only half the story. The audit of IPO fund utilization reveals the other half: ₹20.40 crore of that raise sits untouched. The ₹13.03 crore earmarked for new machinery and equipment has seen zero deployment. The company raised public capital for a transformation that hasn't started. With the core business contracting, the lag in executing the IPO's growth thesis is now the primary concern.
